Abstract

Approximately 10% of women of childbearing age are hirsute, which is defined as the presence of coarse terminal hairs in androgen-dependent areas on the face and body. It not only is a source of psychological discomfort but also may be a sign of an underlying medical condition. This article reviews the pathophysiology, diagnosis, evaluation, and treatment of hirsutism.
